Chapter 58 Jiang Hehua gives a festive gift
"You have a needle hole in your butt? It comes and goes again and again this time. Don't you feel tired, I feel dizzy when I look at it." I was stimulated by Jiang Che's good news, but I couldn't go to announce the good news to my ancestors in a big way. Nothing
The old man, who had nothing to do, was scratching his head and scratching his head. After lying on the kang for a few minutes, he squatted in front of the door and smoked a cigarette. After going back and forth a few times, the aunt became angry.
"Hongmei, we won't wait for the children anymore. Let's get busy first to save the old man from annoying us." In previous years, the New Year's Eve dinner, which the whole family worked together, was successfully advanced due to the "harassment" of the old man.
The uncle and the fourth uncle went to the back of the house to catch the chicken, Jiang Che and Jiang Bo chopped the stuffing, and the aunt and the fourth aunt took Jiang Lingling to boil water. Although they didn't say who was going to do what, everyone performed their duties in a tacit understanding.
"Mom, aunt. We are back." The aunt and the fourth aunt were turning the pig intestines when Jiang Hehua came to the house with his new son-in-law Xue Dabao to give him a boxing gift.
"Aunt, aunt." Xue Dabao shyly greeted his elders and then stood there stupidly.
"Hey, kid, please come in and warm yourself up." When the fourth aunt saw her new son-in-law and daughter coming back, she happily stood up and wiped her hands on her apron.
"There is nothing lacking at home now, and you still buy so many things. Needless to say, it must be Hehua, the girl who caused the trouble!" The fourth aunt patted Jiang Hehua gently, and continued to talk: "You guys have to learn how to behave when you just get married.
Live your life and save more money. You can't feel it now, but you won't know how useless money is until you have children later."
"Oh, I understand, Auntie." Xue Dabao completely lost his sweet words to Jiang Hehua in front of his elders, and could only nod his head like a good baby.
"Mom, where are my father and uncle?" Faced with my mother's nagging, Jiang Hehua looked indifferent.
"How come you, after getting married, still don't look like you have grown up?" Faced with the little girl's left ear going in and the right ear going out, the fourth aunt said helplessly.
Entering the house, she saw the three brothers and sisters of Jiang Che making dough and preparing to make dumplings. Jiang Hehua's eyes lit up and she hurriedly ran two steps and jumped on Jiang Che's back, then came down to play with Jiang Bo and Jiang Lingling.
"Jiang Hehua, just go ahead and make trouble. I won't break your legs when your father comes back." My daughter has been carefree since she was a child. She thought she would be quieter after getting married, but she is now more out-of-the-box than before.
"Brother-in-law is here. We have been close to Sister Hehua since we were young, which makes you laugh."
Jiang Che was only two years old when he was sent back to the village, and his younger siblings were still nursing babies. In the first two years, the eldest mother and the fourth aunt took turns taking care of the two children. After they were two or three years old, Jiang Hehua took care of them. Although Jiang Hehua
He is only one year older than Jiang Che, but the three little ones have never been bullied. Until Jiang Che and the others moved to the city with their father, Jiang Hehua took them in the past few years.
"We are quite envious of the relationship between your brothers and sisters. It's not like my sister who beat me since I was a child. It was only after I got married that I was spared her murderous hand." Xue Dabao took the "Zhonghua" from Jiang Che with a smile and put it in his mouth.
I thought about it but reluctantly clipped it to my ears.
This was the first time he had received this kind of filtered cigarettes. When he went to the capital and saw other people smoking them, he wanted to buy a pack to bring back to the village to make up for it. After asking at the counter, he found out that buying this kind of filtered Zhonghua cigarettes not only requires
7 cents per pack, you need to buy with a ticket.
"Brother-in-law, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring much with me. I still have some, so you can smoke it first." Seeing that Xue Dabao was reluctant to smoke, Jiang Che threw away the cigarette that had just been opened in his pocket. The cigarettes of this era were very popular in Jiang Che.
Che couldn't get used to smoking. Compared with the cigarettes of later generations, they were very strong and choked.
This pack of Zhonghua was not bought by Jiang Che to show his face. It was a pack given by him when he went to the big leader’s house that day. He kept it in his pocket and forgot about it. He just took it out and took one out when he ran out of cigarettes.
"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing?" Xue Dabao caught the cigarette with joy and secretly pinched the cigarette box to see that there were not many missing. He was so happy that the corners of his mouth almost touched his ears. He thought to himself: "As expected.
Those who work in a big factory with tens of thousands of people in the capital are really wealthy. Unlike my cousin who lives in a commune, he can’t even bear to open his front door.”
"Brother-in-law, my sister has been carefree since she was a child. Sometimes she blurts out what she says. If she says the wrong thing or does something wrong in your house, you have to protect her." She is no longer as arrogant and domineering as she was when she went to see off her bride that day.
Now Jiang Che is talking to Xue Dabao happily.
"Hey, don't worry when your sister is in my house. I will definitely not let her be wronged." Xue Dabao knew that Jiang Che was speaking so arrogantly because it was the first time that his new son-in-law came to deliver boxing gifts.
, if Jiang Hehua had been wronged at home, with the way Jiang Che acted so tyrannically that day, it would probably be a hard time for her whole family.
Jiang Che and Uncle Xue Dabaolang were having a heart-to-heart talk here, and the aunt and the fourth aunt were also chatting about home affairs while making dumplings.
"Shuanzi, come and see what good things we have caught." Before entering the house, I heard my fourth uncle shouting excitedly in the yard.
"Hey! This rabbit is quite fat. I estimate it weighs 3 pounds." Jiang Che looked at the hare in his fourth uncle's hand and said happily.
"Hey, I just set the trap last night. I didn't expect to catch such a big rabbit."
"Ah! Fourth uncle, this rabbit is not dead yet." Hearing the excitement in the yard, Jiang Lingling ran into the yard and poked it with her fingers.
The hare is timid by nature, and was frightened when seeing so many people. After being touched by Jiang Lingling, it struggled violently, and it almost ran away if the fourth uncle hadn't held it tightly.
"Ha! I asked you to scare me!" Jiang Lingling, who was startled, slapped the rabbit angrily and said angrily to her fourth uncle: "Uncle Fourth, it scared me! Let's kill it and eat its meat.
Bar."
"Haha, you greedy little girl. Come on, you're going to kill us for an extra meal tonight."
"Lingling, don't make trouble, I bought a lot of delicious food in my bag. This is just a female rabbit left for the family to raise."
"This rabbit is easy to feed and breeds very quickly. You can sell it for a lot of money even if you raise it for a year." Seeing that his fourth uncle was going to kill the rabbit, Jiang Che quickly advised him.
"Bad brother, you didn't say anything about the good things you bought." Jiang Lingling said casually that she didn't have much desire for rabbit meat. When she heard that her brother had a lot of delicious food in her bag, she stopped outside to enjoy the air and ran away.
Digging around the house.
"Uncle, my west room collapsed due to heavy snow a few days ago, and it was repaired last night. Don't be surprised if I'm late." Although Xue Dabao was nervous when facing his father-in-law, he had to make these words clear.
My uncle should have given out all the Boxing Day gifts, but he, a new uncle, rushed to the last day of the year in his first year. If the matter was not revealed, he would not be resented by his father-in-law.
